There has been a change to Golf protocols with regards to rakes in bunkers and the touching/removal of flags for putting from Fri 23rd July, it has been left to each club to determine if they wish to introduce the new protocols or not.
As a club we are keeping the current protocols in place for club competitions, no rakes in bunkers and no touching/removing of flags, during weekend Sat 24th & Sun 25th July, to give our green staff time to prepare all bunkers and remove items from the bottom of golf holes.
We should have all in place to move forward with the new protocols soon and we will notify members accordingly.
